Sometimes I wonder how people were able to live in ancient Greece. Sure, there was a functioning society, your life tended to not be in immediate danger, and there was success to work towards. But I mean live it up! I'm specifically referring to the ability to capture special moments in someone's life. Forgetting about cameras for a minute, even just trying to crudely sketch something like when your little boy Paxton scored his first goal in the Greek version of Hockey would have been difficult. The reason for this is art supplies were expensive and hard to find because of the pains of making papers during this time in history. (Learn more about Greek culture

Athens was the Greek city that centered itself the most around the Arts and Sparta was the city that cared more about military might. If I had to choose a city to live in I definitely would choose Athens. I love nature and allowing myself to be surrounded by it, and as a result I could call myself an amateur nature photographer. Athens would be my best shot at still creating the art I love to create without my trusty camera.
